Gasp!!! Videos or photos of space like this one make me feel optimistic of the future of the human civilization. I remember, when I was young, I watched a video of the landing on the moon of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. I also saw how their rocket flew into space. I wanted to become an astronaut because of that.

This is really fascinating. I wish the U.S. government made NASA as much a priority now as it did in the ’60s.
